Dear fencers, trainers, and supporters,
On behalf of the FIE (Fédération Internationale d’Escrime), the Fechterring Nürnberg welcomes you to the International Satellite Tournament in Nuremberg.
The sabre event for seniors is scheduled for Saturday, October 11, 2025. We expect more than 300 participants, so some preliminary information is mandatory.
The event will take place at the BBZ (Berufsbildungszentrum Nürnberg) facilities.
The address is: Berliner Platz 26, 90489 Nürnberg
Official information on tornament organization is available through ophardt platform
The venue of BBZ is centrally located and well connected. The ‘Schoppershof’ station on underground lines U2 and U21 is located directly in front of the hall. Both underground lines run directly from the city center stops “Plärrer”, “Opernhaus” and “Hauptbahnhof” via “Schoppershof” towards the “Flughafen Nürnberg” (U2) and “Herrenhütte” (U21).
Tickets for public transport are available at VGN. Price category A applies in the Nuremberg/Fürth/Stein area. If there are several of you and you want to use the ticket several times over the weekend, we recommend the “Tages-Ticket-Plus”. Holders of the Deutschland-Ticket can use public transport free of charge.
We do not recommend travelling by car, as parking spaces are very limited in the surrounding area due to extensive construction work. The nearest parking spaces are located at the Herrnhütte U-Bahn station. From there, you can take the U2/U21U-Bahn for the last part of your journey.
There is a paid car parking in the Welser Quartier underground car park, approx. 600 m away.
You can alternatively order a taxi via Taxi Nürnberg (+49 911 19410) or any other service provider (UBER, Bolt, etc.).
We are excited to welcome you and looking forward to a great event!
Tobias Hell (President, Fechterring Nürnberg)
